Lardon artichoke – holy goodness in a dish

Ya ya I know it’s kinda of spring already and artichoke are way gone, but you should know by now how “quick” I am to update the website, right? So here it goes, and I would suggest to bookmark it for the winter season: Lardon artichoke – holy goodness in a dish

This is the perfect recipe for one of those rainy saturday afternoon. In the morning you can go and have a “quick” trip (ya this quick is supposed to be not so quick, like the one above), I was saying, a quick trip to the market and buy yourself a nice piece of lardon, maybe one of those from Europe, covered in herbs, like the one I used here. Mine was from a Christmas goodies basket.

Here in Italy the use is to say thank you for something over Christmas with a basket of goodies. This one was full of products from Tuscany, included this piece of lardon seasoned and aged in herbs.

A melt in the mouth divine experience, I tell ya!

This recipe comes from a last minute planning. We were up in the mountains in our small rented little flat, outside it was snowing and our Sunday evening fridge (you know just before heading back to the city) was empty, really empty: a few sauce bottles, some sad leftovers the artichokes and this piece of lardon, still vacuum sealed from Christmas. I opened it, I let it “breathe” for half an hour, and goodness me it was to die for and I knew it that with the bitter sweetness of the artichoke was just a marriage made in heaven.
